Golf Course Decision

I read with some disgust the recent Tujunga Wash golf course decision. Apparently our City Council did an about-face on its decision because of a 24th-hour revelation presented to them by a disgruntled union (“The Open Space Vote Bears the Union Label,” July 24). Why these “facts” did not surface prior to the “research” of the union puzzles me. I find it quite amusing that all the research done by all the committees and subcommittees and who knows how many other factions could not find these terrible things that the developer had committed or had purported to commit.

Perhaps the reason the spineflower won is because it has a spine and the City Council doesn’t.
